My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Missouri
My daughter was taken by CPS/DFS from her mother due to her other child's father calling them and stating that she was taking drugs. (in February, without making me aware)
She was passed around her family members until n one else wanted to care for her. No one told me anything! The mother lies to me all the time.
I pay child support always and on time. I don't visit as often as I should due to the distance between us. My daughter knows me as Daddy.
Turned out that the drug test was positive for Meth and they took her.
The mother wants me to attend a meeting with DFS/CPS that I have 3 days notice of tomorrow morning. My daughter's mother informed me that they would drug test me and I have marijuana in my system. I do no other drugs nor drank any alcohol.
I have other children too that live with me. If I go and I am honest or fail that drug test will they take my other children and investigate me?
I am getting a lawyer tomorrow in the morning but I am unsure if I he will have the time to attend the meeting. I wish she had given me more time but she doesn't want me to have her... she just has no other choice.
I cannot have my other children taken but I cannot just not go to the meeting either? If I don't go to the meeting then I am afraid that she will go to a foster home and it will be harder for me to get her for one and for two it will show CPS/DFS I don't care. Though they haven't informed me of anything!
Any advice would be great. The meeting is in 9 and a half hours.
Thanks!
